There was an oppurtunity for a double play had F6 not been hindered. The ump calls an out at R1 out on a force all play stands... I turn and ask the blue, "You didn't think SS was hindered and therefore couldn't make the throw" and he gives me this blank look... I say "He took out the SS" and the blue says "Well... He's allowed to take him out..." "...As long as he's sliding".

Check out this post regarding sliding. Personally, I think it's a horses*** play, as these are not pros playing - they're fathers and husbands who have jobs to go to in the morning to put food on the table. Unfortunately, it *can* be legal, though I'd HTBT in order to make that determination.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
